Core Envy will tone and sculpt your abs, back, stomach, and sides--and build a strong, sexy core you'll love showing off.
Her Core Envy program solves the problems other abs programs ignore with a three-part approach to slim down and tone up. You'll clean up your diet, fire up your metabolism, and tighten up all the muscles of your core without a gym or equipment. In just three weeks, you'll start seeing results.
With Core Envy, you'll target your diet and your exercise. The Core Envy diet offers healthy, flavorful recipes that will keep you feeling energized as you rev up your metabolism. High-intensity cardio workouts coupled with full core functional exercises will make sure you slim down while you sculpt all the muscle groups you need for a sleek belly.
You can do this! Each cardio workout is 20-30 minutes long and you'll go for it 3 days a week. Every other day, you'll focus on sculpting your core. Easier, moderate, and advanced levels make it simple to challenge yourself, no matter your experience or your current fitness level.
Core Envy will help you get the sleek, sculpted core you want. After Westfahl's 8-week program, you'll look great and feel confident rocking a fit and feminine look.
